Has anyone had to change out the electic component for the trunk release and also know where to get one? My remote still unlocks the doors and turns the dome light on when the trunk release button is pushed but no sound of the electric trunk release activating in the rear of the car and of course the trunk remains locked. Both the key and the release next to the drivers seat still work. Is there a fuse dedicated to this option? Thoughts?

I had the same problem. Dome light came on, so it should work, but no trunk pop. All I did was take out the little motor (under the trunk lip) and service it. Apparently, they're fairly flaky, and get jammed easily. There is a good step-by-step somewhere on here.

Try this: http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=trouble&Number=729175&Forum=trouble&Words=trunk&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=2&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=407409&Search=true#Post729175

It worked for me. total cost zero!

Steel, it's an easy DIY, read that link and once you do the fix (not really a fix, more of taking it apart and putting it back together seems to fix it) and you'll never worry about that part failing again.

A prety easy DIY!

i had the exact problem...i looked into it, in the trunk. For some reason, i have an unconnected elctrical harness hanging around...for some strange reason i do not have the elctrical solenoid thing to pop it open?! How strange
